Musharraf: Bin Laden probably dead

Musharraf: I would give the first priority that he is dead


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pakistan's president says he thinks Osama bin Laden is most likely dead because he has been unable to get treatment for his kidney disease.

"I think now, frankly, he is dead," Pervez Musharraf said on Friday in an interview with CNN, "for the reason he is a patient, he is a kidney patient. We know that he donated two dialysis machines into Afghanistan. One was specifically for his own personal use.

"I don't know if he has been getting all that treatment in Afghanistan now. And the photographs that have been shown of him on television show him extremely weak. ... I would give the first priority that he is dead and the second priority that he is alive somewhere in Afghanistan."

The United States has said that bin Laden is the prime suspect in the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon that killed almost 3,000 people.

The United States launched its campaign in Afghanistan after the country's ruling Taliban refused to turn over bin Laden.
